You need to restart networking for the changes to take effect using the following commandĭeclare virtual interfaces in VirtualBox network file You may add as many vbox# interfaces as you wish as long as they are also declared in /etc/vbox/interfaces keep reading for details. If you are using static IP addresses for eth0, eth1, etc you will need to configure the br0 interface using the same settings! Otherwise your system will request an IP address via DHCP. If you are using Static IP addresses modify the interfaces like this: 'vbox0' is an arbitrary name for the device VirtualBox will use, if you want more devices, you just add then like:īridge_ports eth0 vbox0 vbox1 vbox2 vbox3 vbox4 and so on. 'br0' is an arbitrary name for the bridge. 'eth0' is the name of your interface, it can be different depending on your machine. If you have Dynamic IP, on the host machine: You have to edit /etc/network/interfaces on the host machine to declare the bridge, this procedure is slightly different if your host use static or dynamic IP. Sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.backup Now you need to take the backup of your networking file using the following command Sudo apt-get install uml-utilities bridge-utils You need to install the following packages

Declare bridge and real network interface you add to it.

To configure Host Networking you need to configure network bridging, you basically go through four steps on the host machine

To start, NAT is by far the easiest way to get your guests connected to the interweb, but you may want to use the guests as servers.

We have already discussed how to install virtualbox and create virtual machines in ubuntu.This tutorial will explain How to set up host interface networking for VirtualBox on Ubuntu.
